This one. Has an investigator talking to various members of the JSA to understand why the Spectre took out an entire country.

Cover of Spectre (1992) #20. It depicts an impressionist version of Spectre using some sort of powers to make a body disentegrate.

Close to a self-portrait, in its way.

Grant Morrison (with hair) circa 1989 or ’90 holding a copy of Arkham Asylum in a comic shop. There are racks of comics behind Morrison.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

Poster for the TV show Journeyman, in which the main character could travel through different eras of San Francisco, maybe via newspapers?

Nice! I can’t do worse than 3 so far. Ed Nealy’s torrid 1.5 ppg was too much for their opponents, apparently.

Genuinely the difference is his wigs weren’t curly that often.

She specifically has pulled this crap since college.

Screen shot of Harmeet Dhillon’s Wikipedia, under heading Education: “Dhillon attended the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, graduating at age 16. She then enrolled at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts in classics.[13][14] As an undergraduate at Dartmouth, she became a writer and eventually the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review.[11][14] During her tenure at The Review, a satirical column criticizing the school's President and the policies of his administration generated controversy. In the column, Dartmouth College president James O. Freedman, who was Jewish, was likened to Adolf Hitler due to the alleged discriminatory policies of his administration against conservatives. These policies were referred to by the column as a "holocaust" and the "Final Solution to the Conservative Problem".[14] The column also characterized conservatives at Dartmouth as being "deported in cattle cars in the night".[15]”

They had an unbelievably gross stage element early on.

One of the band's stage props was known as the "Dildorado" or "The Dildozer", a riding lawnmower modified to look like a human penis that mimicked ejaculation by shooting colorful fluids from its tip.

$500 recurring quarterly in honor of Northwestern HC David Braun’s sterling .500 record as head coach, which is a solid 25% better than that fraud Fitz managed in his last four years, while also permitting a culture of horrific hazing. Cats Cats Cats, let’s pummel Michigan State this year.

Sure, but MSA isn’t audience. Combined statistical area is probably closer to a fair comparison. CSA makes even more clear that alleged small markets can compete (San Diego is even smaller here at 22), but the Bay Area is the 5th largest CSA in the country at 9.15M. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_…

Specific artists or brands never want to cop to it, but lots of agencies and social media marketing platforms, maybe even the majority. They promise to get followers, likes, and views, and the only way to deliver that is bots or paying accounts. Image below is a low-rent agency, but this is common.

I do not remember Bayou Billy being on Captain N, but this plot summary is hilarious.

From Wikipedia screenshot: Bayou Billy appears in Nintendo-themed animated TV series Captain N: The Game Master, where the character shows up in an episode titled "How's Bayou", voiced by Garry Chalk. Playing on the difficulty of its real world counterpart, Bayou Billy was said to be the one game even Captain N was unable to conquer yet. Mother Brain asked Dr. Wily to build a robot cat to help Duke lead Captain N to Bayou Billy's world. Captain N ended up meeting Bayou Billy where he learned some tricks from him.

Still image from a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode. Bart sits on a throne and chuckles while one of the twins nervously hands him a root beer float. Caption reads: “And our country isn’t called America anymore. It’s bonerland.”

Mine is Seaguy. Here he is as a bull dresser. Really wish Cam Stewart hadn’t proven to be like that so I could read Seaguy Eternal.

The character death dressed as a bullfighter, but holding a red ballgown. A bull’s head fills the left side of the frame. Both are in a bull dressing ring.

And we wouldn’t have classic tracks like “Aquatic Mouth Dance,” let alone the fine lyrics from Tippa My Tongue

Your hairplane is a monument
The sexy art of condiments
And now I know you by your scent
Let it be, we both get bent

Outstanding production work CBS

Screenshot from the Michigan/Michigan State broadcast. Michigan student fans with one holding up a whiteboard reading “Fears DPOY Dirtiest Player of the Year.” The shot was shown second after Jeremy Fears was given a deadball technical for kicking Elliot Cadeau in the junk.

Are you saying the Simpsons lied by portraying a judge saying it?

I forget, have we talked about what happened to the founder of DIC?

From Wikipedia:

After moving to the Bahamas in 1987, Chalopin began investing in Deltec Bank and Trust, eventually becoming its largest shareholder and chairman. As chairman he sought out smaller cryptocurrency-related businesses, including Tether and its controlling company Bitfinex in 2018. At that time, Deltec was the only bank willing to work with the cryptocurrency.[7]

Chalopin acquired Farmington State Bank (FSB), a single-location community bank in Farmington, Washington, in 2020. FSB, which until then had focused on agricultural loans, began to offer services to the blockchain and cannabis industries under the name Moonstone Bank. Among FSB's blockchain activities, it accepted millions of dollars in investment capital and deposits from entities linked to the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. US federal prosecutors seized FTX-related funds from the bank in January 2023 after FTX's failure, and FSB intended to return to community banking. Later that year FSB agreed to sell its operations and liquidate at the insistence of the Federal Reserve Board and state bank regulators.[8]

No, they're not. Hard to find stats nationwide, but Spanish immersion in the Bay Area in particular has above-average latino enrollment. Some of that are kids in English-speaking family who want to learn Spanish to talk to grandparents, others are Spanish-speakers learning English half the day.

Demographic chart showing that DLI schools in the Bay Area are 47.7% Latino compared to 36% at all schools in the region. Also shows white students are 16.2% of students at DLI schools, while 22% at all schools.
